AI agent startup Liner said on Monday it has obtained an "essential generative AI requirements" badge, becoming the first domestic artificial intelligence company to do so. The badge indicates compliance with operating principles for "responsible AI" governance.

The badge was awarded by the Responsible AI Institute, a global non-profit organisation. The institute conducts verification based on 75 global control items, including the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology's AI Risk Management Framework (NIST AI RMF), ISO/IEC 42001 and OWASP's LLM security guidelines.

Liner stressed it scored above the passing threshold in the evaluation for the essential generative AI requirements badge. In an assessment based on NIST's AI risk management framework, it met evaluation criteria across key areas such as context definition, risk mapping and data governance.

Song Hyun-geun (송현근), Liner's chief information security officer, said, "As safety and trust are the biggest issues in adopting AI in the global market, Liner will establish itself as the most trustworthy AI service in all aspects of accuracy, ethics and safety."

Liner has also obtained SOC 2 Type II certification, a U.S. security standard, and HIPAA certification, a medical information protection law. It also upholds security and ethical principles by reviewing potential security threats from the service planning stage and operating a "risk content management" system that blocks exposure to inappropriate content.
